- Windmills on the Landscape
Modern wind turbines will become an accepted feature of landscapes around the world by a process of cultural assimilation. As wind turbines become a more prevalent feature of today's landscape, they begin to find their way into common artifacts as symbolic images.
- An Urban Ethic of Europe
There is an urban ethic in Europe, a set of moral principles which are applied: they explain why some cities exist and others do not. Prominent are: de-urbanization as the chosen urban trend of modernity; cities as part of national culture in a Europe monopolized by nations; and the liberal idea of an open, interaction-maximizing city. In effect, three prohibitions on the existence of classes of possible cities. The urban policy of a state "Europa" should reverse these prohibitions. By Paul Treanor
- Bridging the Urban Landscape
Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh, in collaboration with Common Knowledge: Pittsburgh, has created this online hypertext exhibit of some 600 historical photographs and images, accompanied by text, of Pittsburgh, its bridges, and its neighborhoods. Drawn from the unique resources of the Library's Pennsylvania Department, this ongoing exhibit was initially made possible by a grant from the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA).
